We had Mikey as our wedding DJ add he was amazing! We are in our early 40s so we have a bit different vibe than many weddings and he was super excited for it. He mixed in a ton of songs that we love and as a result kept our dance floor bopping all night. Many guests the next day commented on how active our dance floor was and that is in large part thanks to Mikey. He was also great with questions we had leading up to the big day. Would recommend. A couple Paradox negatives: in the initial phases the way the company website and communication is set up is intense and super pushy. I also didn't like the app they have as it isn't usable on a computer. I also didn't like the payment methods they prefer. Sending Venmo payments that large felt really odd. But Mikey's work was amazing and I would put up with those issues again for the amazing vibe and night that he gave us. read more

Basic Dj that charges overprice. A month after the wedding he reaches out to my wife and shared a "party like" mix which I was not included in nor have the same type of music played at our wedding. He also text her at 10pm. Not really professional like. read more

Terrible service. We hired him for our wedding that was scheduled for May of 2020. Of course we couldn't have the wedding. He had the gall to require an extra $500 to reschedule claiming that he had to turned down 3 other gigs that cost him thousands of dollars and only showed compassion to waive the fee when I shared that my mom had died of covid and I wasn't even sure I wanted to have a wedding anymore if my mom couldn't be there. Of course, when January of 2021 came around, it was clear that we couldn't have the wedding in May of 2021 either and he demanded even more money claiming again that he had turned down several other gigs for thousands of dollars. Yeah right! He had no proof of this. We fired him. He kept nearly $1,000 of our money for doing absolutely nothing. Beware of this guy. He is not an honorable business person and extremely unreasonable and heartless. read more

If you are looking for a DJ to hype up the party, play killer music, and have a blast at your event, we HIGHLY recommend Paradox Productions. Zacch was the DJ at our wedding and he brought so much energy, good vibes, and fun!! Zacch was with us every step of the way for planning and he is such a great guy! Him and his music was honestly one of the major highlights of our wedding, so much so that several of our guests reached out to us to say "hey he was great who is that guy?!" One of my bridesmaids even asked him to DJ for her wedding in a couple of months and she lives in a different state! Planning a wedding can be stressful at times but every time we had a meeting with Zacch to talk music and MC needs, we knew there would be no stress and we would laugh while we planned. Thank you Zacch and Paradox Productions for helping make our wedding so incredible and unforgettable!! read more

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect DJ for our wedding day. Justin and his assistant were absolutely incredible. From the booth set, to our customized monogram he designed, to the epic playlist, everything was ideal. It was beyond our expectations. We are truly grateful and highly recommend Paradox Productions! Thank you again Justin! read more

I give this company a 10/10! From the introduction via Zoom meeting almost 1 year ago to the execution of service at our recent wedding 6/18/2021, working with Justin (owner) was a breeze. He provided us with all of the information up front that he needed from us to make our day come to life. He had ideas that we had never thought of that made our wedding different from any other we had ever been to. Due to the circumstances, he brought 2 additional DJ's to our event for added support. When we said we wanted to party he definitely made it happen and literally EVERY wedding guest was on the dance floor including all the hotel guests on the lawn at our outdoor venue. Justin is very professional and a pleasure to work with. I would gladly hire him and his team for every DJ event I ever needed if we lived local! HIGHLY RECOMMEND...YOU DEFINITELY GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!!! read more

Justin is the epitome of professionalism, creativity, and talent. He had everything covered from day one and we could not have been happier with having him part of our wedding day. During the planning process he was clear and concise, giving us the perfect balance of constructive recommendations and freedom in the details of the day. On our wedding day he went above and beyond with little details like playing personalized songs after each of the toasts (on the fly!) and keeping the energy up on the dance floor through the night. His ability to read a crowd and play the right song is so impressive, and countless people commented on how great he was. We are so grateful for all of Justin's hard work to make our day such a special one. Thank you, Justin!! read more

Fab, fab, fab! I've been so impressed by the professionalism and service from this duo. I wholeheartedly recommend their DJ services to any bride. It was a pleasure to work with them. read more

DJ Devin was absolutely amazing. You could tell he truly cared about our wedding day and wanted to make sure it was special. We were looking for a DJ who really knew his music and how to throw a dance party, and Devin was perfect! He is a very talented mixer, and we had so much fun! He's also a charismatic MC and all around lovely human. We can't recommend him enough! read more

We booked really last minute (about four weeks out) after deciding to not proceed with our original vendor. I loved that the website had sample playlists and felt confident that our event's "soundtrack" would reflect who we were as a couple and our eclectic musical preferences. Justin was very responsive and we had several meetings with Devin leading up to the event to make sure every detail was perfect. Both were extremely professional while still being very easy to talk to. Highly recommend. read more

Highly recommend!! Justin was our DJ for our wedding night and he did such an amazing job!! Our wedding was in Ridgefield, WA and it just so happened to rain during our reception. Justin kept the energy going and the night moving! He was very professional, responded quickly, answered all of our questions and knew exactly what to do/play to fill in the gaps. Thank you so much, Justin, for making our night one to remember! read more

We got married in August and I had reached out to Paradox Productions hoping to book Justin based on Weddingwire reviews. He had already been booked on our date in December and he highly recommended his right hand man, Ryan (DJ RPM). I trusted him and booked Ryan without meeting him or listening to any of his mixes. It turns out Ryan is actually the DJ I tape-recorded back in high school; he did the throwback mixes for the old Jammin 95.5. This made me BEYOND excited and we met at a Starbucks after I paid my deposit. He was very professional and took notes throughout the meeting. He also walked me through their website where I could create my own playlists and timeline of events. I was really counting on Ryan to be the timeline guy as I had no wedding coordinator. He's very creative and he's DJ'd a ton of weddings so he actually helped me with things beyond music in terms of timeline, especially our processional and recessional. He even went for my idea to walk down the aisle to Common's "The Light" and made a custom mix for me only to have it turned down by my dad (wah wah). He showed up early the day of and miced up our officiant and my husband. He also setup all the speakers he needed and knew exactly what to do to make everything go smoothly. EVERYTHING went perfectly and Ryan had A LOT to do. He played what we wanted while guests showed up, timed our songs for the ceremony during our rehearsal right before the real deal, and it all went off without a hitch. The music during cocktail hour was exactly what I wanted and the music during dinner was exactly what my husband wanted. Then came the dance portion of the evening and that was my favorite because it was all old school hip hop and pop music that I requested. I cannot recommend Paradox Productions enough. From start to finish, they handled all my inquiries and phone calls professionally and Ryan was A HUGE part of making our wedding flow not only with music but also with the announcements we asked him to make at certain times. Incredible. Book him. Or anyone. I'm sure they're all just as good...but I'm glad we got DJ RPM! read more

We hired Justin at Paradox Productions for our wedding and could not be happier. Justin is professional and fun! Everything from the booking process, to the pre wedding meeting, and day of coordination was seamless. He helped curate a playlist and the flow of our wedding so it fit us, and we truly could not be happier. He was personable, understanding, and amazing to work with. We had so many guests come up to us raving about the music and how it was the best wedding playlist they have ever experienced! We highly recommend Justin and wish we could relive the best day ever with Justin DJing all over again! Thank you! read more

Justin was great! Everything was super smooth from the initial meeting, to the planning meeting and then our wedding (7/2021). He guided us through the entire process including things we had not thought of. I had many separate guest rave about how good the DJ was. The entire evening ran very smoothly thanks to his help. read more

My husband's family owns a wedding venue and we used to live on the property. As a result, we have experienced many weddings and heard countless DJ's. With that in mind, I was blown away by Justin and Paradox Productions. Many of those weddings I watched from my kitchen window and listened to all night were lacking the energy and cohesiveness Justin created. Not only is Justin friendly and welcoming, he also put me at ease by explaining how he makes sure he is in sync with the rest of my vendors to ensure that the flow of our wedding was smooth. This may sound like a no brainer but trust me, it is a skill and requires attention to detail. Attention to detail that Justin has! Throughout my wedding as well as afterwards, I was approached by my guests telling me how great our DJ was. My Uncle even went up to Justin at the end of the night to tell him how wonderful the music was from the time guests started arriving, through the ceremony, cocktail hour and the entire reception. With everything a bride and groom have to worry about when planning a wedding, this does not have to be one of them. Do yourself a favor and book Paradox Productions so you can cross it off your to do list. I can not thank Justin enough!! read more

Great people to work with. Awesome show, excellent preparation and follow up. Highly recommend!

Paradox brought the house down at my cousin's wedding. We talked about it for weeks after. Just banger after banger! The dance floor was the most crowded I've ever seen. Definitely highly recommended read more

DJ RPM was an incredible wedding DJ. He is very detail oriented, responsive, timely, and flexible. We had some last minute requests the week of our wedding and DJ RPM was super thoughtful and kind when implementing changes. I'm so grateful to have worked with him. I had so many friends tell me "that DJ was awesome" the entire next day. Thanks for helping us ring in our marriage and 2020 in style! Don't hesitate, book him now! read more

Ain't nobody fresher than this clique! There are many wedding costs that can be compromised, but NOT entertainment and reassurance that you and your loved ones will be taken cared of so that this very special (and likely the most expensive party you'll ever host) turns out just the way it was planned and envisioned (this is coming from a couple who are pretty good planners themselves, but planning a wedding is another level). We have absolutely no regrets booking Justin Babbitt (DJ Paradox) and Jennifer Babbitt (wedding coordinator). We knew after meeting them that we would be in good hands. They both are personable and have so much wedding industry experience and expertise. They were also responsive to each and every question and request that we threw at them, even if it came down to just a day before the wedding! Many details are interconnected for a wedding and the tricky part is organizing it all in a way that flows and makes sense for what you want. We knew we could handle most of the planning, but wanted to have a point person to help execute the day of to alleviate this burden from us and the wedding party. Jennifer offers various coordination packages and we were happy to learn of her partial planning services. She helped us with vendor connections, ceremony planning and rehearsal, set-up of decor and the snack bar, pinning of boutonnieres, and probably a million other things the day of that kept us sane and everything running smooth. Jennifer was on point with keeping us on track, but in a very caring and calming way. She did a great job keeping us on schedule and reminded us and the wedding party where we needed to be throughout the wedding day. Our wedding was pretty stress free (yes, minimal stress is possible!) and having Jennifer with us, was a big part in that. Justin helped us plan the music and MC (master of ceremonies) content for the ceremony, cocktail hour, wedding party entrance, dinner, and dance floor. He understood our playlist needed to cater to everyone: young, old, and a good amount of guests who don't speak English and really encouraged us to incorporate our Chinese and Cambodian culture so we had traditional music playing during dinner. He was even able to accommodate a request during the middle of the reception, when the groom's father wanted to play a specific Cambodian song (we have a photo with the father wearing Justin's headphones while Justin's helping him out!). What we really appreciated about Justin is his MC abilities in creating the right tone for the right moment. He has a talent for keeping the energy in the room through his MC and DJ roles. It was such a joy and so much fun to see everyone on the dance floor. More than once, we had guests tell us that our wedding was one of the funnest weddings they've been to. Justin can mix ANYTHING. Music and getting all our guests on the dance floor was a big deal to us and Justin nailed it. We're very grateful to have Justin and Jennifer be a part of our big day and highly recommend them. We were able to truly be present and remember each special moment. It is crazy to invest so much time, energy, and money and just wake up the day of and hope for the best. Don't just hope for the best and set-up a meeting now to get to know the best from Paradox Productions! read more

My Husband and I had the pleasure of having Justin Babbitt, Mr. DJ Paradox himself, lead the entertainment for our wedding and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Justin came highly recommended from friends and we were not let down. He was exceptionally attentive to our style and type of wedding ceremony and reception we wanted to host and he spent significant time discussing music with us so we had the perfect mix. Additionally, we were planning the wedding from San Francisco for our Portland wedding, and Justin would often host Skype calls in the late evening and answered emails quickly to make our special day perfect. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was in place prior to our arrival. Justin was also an amazing entertainer and MC for the entire party. Many of our guests commented that he was one of the best DJs they have ever seen and he knew how to mix songs together so there was never a dull moment. This is really important: Justin does not just push play and wait for the song to finish, he mixes styles and songs to get people on the dance floor and keep them there. This detail should not be overlooked when picking a DJ! Bonus: Justin's wife, Jennifer, was our day of coordinator and was fantastic at making the event run smoothly. They are a perfect pair and work exceptionally well together. Highly suggested utilizing Jennifer's expertise for coordinating a wedding when having Justin DJ. Thanks for everything Justin and Jennifer, we had an amazing wedding and loved the music! read more

We used Justin & Paradox for our school auction, both AV and DJ services. We were so pleased with all of our communication up until the event, and during the event itself. Everything ran smoothly with the AV during our Live auction, and having music during our cocktail hour/Silent auction created a really exciting ambiance. Our after party was amazing! Great music, very engaging, had no problem incorporating our song list into the party. We would absolutely use them again in the future, and highly recommend to anyone looking for AV or DJ services! read more

Justin was awesome every step of the way. The in depth planning page on their website is great and helped us on planning out everything we wanted. The couple of phone/skype chats we had really nailed down every detail - Justin knew all the right questions to ask. The pricing was super fair, especially considering you're getting someone that's going to keep everything moving in the right direction throughout the night with announcements and music choices. I used to DJ, so I had a pretty high bar to meet and Justin easily exceeded it. He hit the perfect balance between playing what we requested ahead of time, handling requests from all our drunk-idiot friends, and filling in the rest of the night with music that met our tastes. Justin is not just there to press play and make a buck - he really is paying attention to what's going on and make sure your night goes right. When it came time for my wife and I to cut the cake, our less-than-stellar catering service was nowhere to be seen. Justin noticed this right away and ran off to the kitchen to get equipment for us to do the deed right after he hit play on the music we wanted. I doubt any of the guests noticed anything, because it looked so natural, but it really meant a lot to me that he was paying that much attention and did something that wasn't his job to make my wife and I look like we knew what we were doing. Thanks for everything Justin! read more

DJ Lure aka Jeff, was wonderful. He was friendly, professional, and attentive. He really listened to what we wanted, and executed things perfectly the day of. He had the perfect personality for the job, and did a great job of keeping us on track during the wedding. THANKS JEFF! read more

Hey you can quit reading yelp reviews for DJs because you just found your DJ! Justin and his crew will keep your party bumping! Great music, lights all over the place, slideshows, photobooths, props, and a whole new bag of dance moves are all part of this deal. Of course it was all delivered flawlessly and with great humor! Thanks again Justin for making our party amazing! read more

Jen and Justin were amazing. The reception went off with out a hitch! Jen was the calm behind the chaos, making sure everything was perfect. Justin had EVERYONE on the dance floor! Thank you for making our wedding so special! read more

We used these guys for our wedding. Justin was amazing! Totally professional, was great with guests and as our MC, and the music he played was exactly what we were hoping for! We had a couple meetings with him prior to the event, and he really took the time to make sure we were gonna have exactly what we were looking for, and he didn't let us down. Possibly the best decision we made during the planning process thanks Justin! read more

We absolutely LOVED working with Paradox productions, specifically DJ O.G. One! You're reading this review and one thing you need to know about me is that I LOVE to dance, so choosing a top notch DJ was essential for my big day. As a consumer and bride-to-be, there are several reasons why I would choose Paradox all over again. First of all, they are extremely timely and responsive. Many vendors in the wedding industry lag on responses and can hold up your timeline, thus adding to your stress level and making the planning process difficult - NOT Paradox. Jen is always on top of her emails and is extremely accommodating when it comes to planning and coordination. Secondly, the seamless online planning platform was very helpful - it was easy to navigate and very comprehensive. Here you can submit your timeline, special requests, various music lists and make payments. Everything is SO EASY. Finally, I need to give major credit to DJ O.G. One who kept our dance floor crazy fun and was a great at reading the crowd. Prior to the big day, we met with O.G. One and he asked all the right questions about our wants and needs, and more importantly, he actively listened to our responses. He is the official DJ for the Portland Trail Blazers and was absolutely incredible at our reception. We received endless compliments on the music, the energy and the vibe of our reception and that is owed to DJ O.G. One and Paradox. read more
